HELLO.  AT   T-S-A, WE WANT TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ABOUT TRAVELING WITH COMPUTERS AND OTHER ELECTRONICS.

MANY TRAVELERS LIKE TO BRING THEIR LAPTOPS AND OTHER DEVICES ON BOARD DURING A FLIGHT. 

WHILE SMALL AND PORTABLE ELECTRONIC ITEMS SUCH AS MP3 PLAYERS AND PDA’S DON’T NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR CARRYON CASES, OTHERS DO.

THESE ITEMS INCLUDE: LAPTOPS, FULL SIZE VIDEO GAME CONSOLES, FULL SIZE DVD PLAYERS AND VIDEO CAMERAS.


WHEN REMOVED FROM YOUR BAG, THESE ITEMS ARE MUCH EASIER AND FASTER FOR A T-S-A OFFICER TO SEE ANY SIGNS OF TAMPERING .  IF YOU LEAVE FULL SIZE ELECTRONICS IN YOUR CARRY-ON BAG ADDITIONAL SCREENING WILL BE REQUIRED.

TO GET THROUGH QUICKLY, PUT YOUR LAPTOP IN ONE BIN, AND YOUR BAG IN ANOTHER.  THEN, WHEN YOU FINISH WALKING THROUGH THE METAL DETECTOR, JUST SLIP YOUR LAPTOP BACK IN YOUR BAG, TAKE THE REST OF YOUR ITEMS, AND YOU’LL BE ON YOUR WAY.

YOUR COOPERATION HELPS US DO OUR JOB MORE EFFICENTLY.

AT T-S-A, YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY.
